[NetBehaviour] Art/work space

[Jason Nelson]

Maria,

Thanks so much for posting a view of your world. I
wish more folks were keen on running with this. But I
imagine more direct questioning would the best route
to gathering bits of scenery. 

By the way are you going to dLux? I just got my nicely
worded rejection letter for this:

but am thinking about going anyway to check out the
scene.

cheers, Jason
